My Fellow Americans (1996)
My Fellow Americans is a film following two ex-Presidents, from opposite parties, as they find themselves in in the heart of a scandal. For one of them, they are being framed for bribes that he did not take, while the other is trying to see whether it is true. In the end, they somehow manage to be targets by the NSA as they start investigating into the heart of the matter. As they're rivals, and still bitter against one another from events years past, this is the source of most of the humor in this comedy. It works well most of the time, and while it isn't constant laughs, there is enough humor and the characters are likeable that My Fellow Americans is quite enjoyable. There isn't enough plot to keep its nearly two hours length entertaining, although there are some great moments such as when the two find themselves taken in by a family on the road, or when people start to recognise them as ex-Presidents and freak out. Overall, My Fellow Americans has enough charm and content to be a worthwhile watching.
